    At a mates wedding reception we sneaked in a bottle of Vodka and had a very cheap very drunken night. The function room just had a serving hatch from the main bar and we were sitting right under the barmans nose but he couldn't see us in the dark cowded smokey room. We've just booked the same room for our wedding reception so all our guests can do the same thing :)

    We once had a badly organised lads camping trip in berwick. All we took to eat were pot noodles. Bloke ina nearby tent said we could use his stove to boile water but he expected money for it. We were skint, so we went to the toilet blocks and ran hot water from the taps to fill them up.

    It was horrible. Water was warm and cloudy. I didn't think it was possible to make a pot noodle taste bad (because they truly are the food of gods and the slag of all snacks), but we managed it.

    Going back to Black-Saturns revelaations, on the first page of this thread ,I had an embarrishing episode when 'aquiring'extra milks and sugars in a cafe situation.

    I was at a motorway service station ,on the M1,when I purchased a cup of coffee.Bit flash at their prices I know but I was on expenses at the time.
    I proceeded to stuff little red packets of a branded sweetener into my trouser pocket for use at home.Probably 20 to 30 of them.

    20 minutes later,on my way out,I passed the service station shop(Harrods prices but remember I was on expenses) and decided I would get a bottle of water for the ongoing journey.

    I was in a queue and eventually got to the front with about another 10 customers behind me.I stuck my hand into my pocket and quickly whipped my wallet out which was in with the aforementioned little red sachets.

    There was an explosion of red into the air very similar to confetti thrown at a wedding.As the little packets floated to the floor,to the amusement of my audience,the only thing redder than the packets was my face !!

    Sadly I had another incident 3 weeks later with a similar product and I am now desperatley trying not to follow the senario that things come in threes.

    Hence I have my coffee without now.

    Thank you for your time

    Don't make fun of people with OCD.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I did this once too in a hotel ........ until I found out that rats can access the hot water tank, hence the reason it says 'not drinking water'......never did it again after this lol.:rotfl:
